Again, iTheme has admitted to it's mistake and they are actively trying to fix it and make sure it doesn't happen again. Cory and his team get it - they allowed a big mistake to happen by failing to maintain and update essential business infrastructure. But we also need to remember that it was an outside party that attacked them and we can't assign all the fault at iTheme's feet. Somebody with malicious intent attacked their business.

And while everyone can feel upset at iTheme's mistakes, if we as a WordPress community can't forgive, assist, and learn from these mistakes - our own or others - then this is not a healthy community. We will end up driving away good people who want to make the world a better place simply because they made a mistake and we won't forgive them for it.
